The leadership of Organised Labour, including the Trades Union Congress (TUC) and various other unions, has announced plans to embark on a nationwide strike on Monday, July 15. 

This decision comes in response to the government's insistence on selling a 60% stake in hotels owned by the Social Security and National Insurance Trust (SSNIT).

The proposed sale has sparked significant controversy, with many in Organised Labour vehemently opposing the transaction. 

The hotels in question are set to be sold to Rock City Hotel Limited, a company owned by Bryan Acheampong, the Minister of Food and Agriculture. 

The unions argue that the sale is not in the best interest of the workers and pensioners who rely on SSNIT for their social security.

Organised Labour contends that selling these assets undermines the financial stability and long-term sustainability of SSNIT. They believe that the hotels are valuable assets that should be managed more effectively rather than being sold off. 

The unions have called on the government to explore alternative solutions to improve the management and profitability of these properties.

The TUC and other unions have rallied their members, urging them to participate in the strike to compel the government to reconsider its decision. They emphasize that the strike is a last resort after numerous attempts to engage the government in dialogue have failed.
